You healed me with a soft kiss on my forehead
Told me my wound's not the kind that bleeds
Your biggest flannel wrapped me like a blanket
Your bedroom smells like tangerines
You caught me trying to hide a scar on my hand
Written 'over-sensitive'
You smiled 'it's okay', then kissed my palm better
Replaced it with 'melancholy'
You add clues to all of my tunes
Adding rhymes and rhythms like a muse
And if God forbids
You and me, baby
You asked me to speak slower and wondered why
I'm saying sorry all the time
Wondered to myself if I should let you
Make me stupid enough to get married
You add clues to all of my tunes
Adding rhymes and rhythms like a muse
Afraid I might be dependent on your cure
Teach me how to love me like you do
And if God forbids
I'll be on my knees
I'll open up to you
Tearing my petals one by one,
Until you see me for who I am
Merely a flower of nothing
Beauty in nothingness
Nothing
Ooh, you add clues to all of my tunes
Adding rhymes and rhythms like a muse
Afraid I might be dependent on your cure
Teach me how to love me like you do
You tucked me in with a soft kiss on my forehead
I am covered in your shade of green
Replacing 'guten nacht' with just a 'good night'
Our bedroom smells like tangerines
